Former NuVista Welcomes New Operator And Name, Addington At Wellington Green

Phil Kelsey of KR Management (seated), meets with Addington at Wellington Green residents Claire Rosengarten and Elizabeth “Ganell” Clark, as Executive Director Robert Campion looks on.

Florida-based senior living and rehabilitation services provider KR Management LLC is the new licensed operator of the assisted living facility and post-acute care center located at 10330 NuVista Avenue in Wellington. The Addington at Wellington Green is the new name of the facility formerly known as NuVista Living at Wellington Green.

KR Management is a family-owned senior housing management company based in Indian Shores that manages 10 assisted living, independent living and rehabilitation facilities. This is the company’s first assisted living and rehabilitation facility in Palm Beach County.

“We are honored to be entrusted with the management of the Addington and excited to build on its great reputation for quality care,” said Phil Kelsey, KR Management’s chief operations officer. “The Addington is a name that conveys the warmth and character of our facility and its surroundings. It’s important for the West Palm Beach community to know that while the ownership and name have changed here, the people and programs our patients and residents love have not.”

The Agency for Health Care Administration approved the license change of ownership effective April 1. The change in ownership prompted the name change, but KR Management had been managing the facility on an interim basis since Feb. 15. Day-to-day operations will continue to be overseen by Robert Campion in his role as executive director of the facility.

The 120-bed post-acute care center and 52-bed assisted living facility originally opened in 2011. The assisted living facility provides an intimate, family-like senior living experience for residents with private apartments, a full dining room with kosher and vegetarian meal plans, and a wide variety of off-site and on-site social activities from shopping trips to entertainment, guest speakers to celebrations.

The post-acute care center provides short-term rehabilitative care following a hospital procedure with an emphasis on excellent continuity of medical care and high-quality outcomes for patients. It features a medically supervised, comfortable environment staffed with nurses, certified nursing assistants and specialists in physical therapy, speech therapy and more.

“We are excited to build on and enhance the programs and amenities that have helped thousands of people heal in our post-acute care setting and live comfortably and safely in our assisted living facility,” Kelsey said.

KR Management was founded in 2002 and manages independent living, assisted living and rehabilitation centers in Largo, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, The Villages, Seminole, Tarpon Springs and Wellington. To learn more, visit www.krmanagementllc.com or www.addingtonwg.com.
